The Ghana Education Service (GES) has come under fire from the Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT) for its propensity to interfere with school officials.
This comes after the GES reinstated the controversial headmasters of Ghana Senior High School in Tamale, Douglas Haruna Yakubu, and Fijai Senior High School, Kenneth Agbomadze, as well as a Senior House Master, Shaibu Fuseini, who were detained for accepting unauthorized fees and using a facility outside of its intended use.
After the Ghana Education Service had finished its inquiries, they were restored.
Adukwei Ayikoi Awulley, communications director for the Coalition of Concerned Teachers, commented on the move and warned the GES against hastily interdicting its staff.
"Our viewpoint has been confirmed; nonetheless, we are perplexed as to why Ghana Education Service has recently made so many rash choices. The moment there is a problem, the first thing the authorities do is arrest the headmaster, headmistress, or whoever.
However, if the situation becomes public and the person's reputation is tarnished, it may take some time before various media outlets finally look into the situation and report that the person has been reinstated. The same incident happened at the school in the Northern Region; just take a look.
"The GES must first determine whether the defendant is subject to a prima facie case. A school board, a regional director of education, and a district director of education are all present.
As a result, the school board will at least convene if they believe the headmaster has to respond to a question before you start looking into the matter. Yet you claim that individual has been interdicted despite the fact that you haven't looked into the situation, the Board hasn't convened, and the Regional Director hasn't even made a strong enough case to start with. It's not going in the correct direction, in my opinion," Adukwei Ayikoi Awulley continued.
